R always seems to run hot like that. I think I have agreed with her once, lol.
I don't care if people have kids or not. I just want them to love what they've got. And I don't think having kids is selfish. I don't even think there needs to BE a reason to have a child. My husband and I aren't "furthering" our line...we're not trying to pass on a family name, or even have someone to take care of us when we're old. I got knocked up...I have a kid. There really wasn't any thought to it. Once I realized I was pregnant...it wasn't "do I want to do this", but "how do I do this?"
I can't actually think of reasons people want children that I have legitimately belived in. Most women or couples I know just say they WANT a baby. Or WANT a family. They don't have an explanation. And I don't care that they don't!!
